Kinda wish atleast a few years would have passed in universe.
Yeah, me too.
What made the first movie work was watching each member of this family (except for the baby) find their place. Watching them disagree and fight with eachother was the best part of the movie. By the end this is all kind of resolved, and this sequel looks to be picking up right after the first. Aging up the cast might've given the oppertunity for new obstacles within the family and the world to have emerged.
I also would've liked to have seen Dash and Violet as a bit older and more experienced. I know this is just a teaser and probably not indicative of the final product, but I hope it isn't just going to be Jack-Jack shenanigans. It's also gonna be weird hearing different voices for Dash and Violet, which I assume is going to happen.
I agree with you sqns the Jack-Jack part. It's just a Teaser and they used the cute baby for marketing purposes, the only things that can be assumed from this is that the Characters won't be aged up and the Logo is probably final. Thats it. I'm more annoyed that Jack Jack will continue to be a non-entity outsid3 of D3us Ex Machina, a Baby can't really have a charqcter. Calling it now, Jack-Jack will hardly figur3 until the end in which he will be necessary to solve a Problem.
Flash and Violett aren't terribly interesting outside of their singular issues in the original. Violett lacks confidence and is shy, typical young t3enage girl. Flash is inexperienced and is fed jp with being held back. So his problem is basically th3 opposite, he's over confid3nt and showboatish. By the end both issues are either "solved" or being worked on...so I don't see much of room for their charact3rs to develope if we are pickuing up, at best, a few Months later. There's no logical place to take them, so I expec5 either new problems for them out of left-field, less significant roles gor both or retreading the same ground.
Really...altogether I just kinda think they waited too long and shouldn't even bother with the sequel at this point.
"A Baby really can't have a character"
Ahem:
Ahem what? You don't seriiusly think you just made a d3cent point with that Video, do you? I didn't say Babies can't do things. I sqid they generally don't have a Character. Which Maggie Simpson doesn't. Especially nothing consistent. The closest you'll get is the running gag of Maggie being Violent. So please spare the stupid "Ahem" as if I'm overlooking the obvious.
You'd have had a better case posti g Stewie Griffin...to which I then would have responded that he isn't actually a Baby in any meaningful way.
@CasualShinji
Yeah and by the end of the last Movie they are also both utilising their powers line old pros with Vi creating Forcefields with ease whilst struggling with it shortly before. Flash's Powers are pretty straightforward, he just doesn't know what he can do with them because he wasn't allowed to use them.
So I don't really see how he is getting creative, his shock is pure inexperience. That's why I was hoping for some significant time to pass. That way we'd be looking at a young adult Vi, possibly struggling between beginning her own life (think a mix of College and Robin becoming Nightwing) and sticking to her family. Flash is a older Teen, probably with plenty of struggle with Bob because Flash would likely be asserting himself. Jack-Jack would be a Kid around the Age Flash was in the original...which would essentially be the same as introducing a entirely new Main Character.
I just don't see what they can do with this sequel that wouldn't be better and make more sense if they st least acknowledg3d SOME of the time that has passed between these 2 Movies.
